Technology Innovation Proposal Presented to the Innovation Board
Prepared by [Your Name Here]
[Date]
Propose a healthcare technology innovation to address the challenge of long wait times. Complete this form to submit to an innovation board for approval ( suggested length of 8–10 pages) by doing the following:
A. Innovation Details
1. Describe your technology innovation, including each of the following four points:
• name of the innovation
• two key features of the innovation
• two relevant functions of the innovation
• general justification as to why this innovation should be considered
| Name of Innovation | |
| Key Features | 1.
2. |
| Relevant Functions | 1.
2. |
| Statement of Justification |
(Optional) Add images or sketches:
2. Explain whether your proposed technology innovation is disruptive or sustaining.
| Type of Innovation |
B. Innovation Analysis
1. Analyze your technology innovation using two factors from Herzlinger’s six-factor analysis to determine the likelihood of the success of your proposed innovation.
| Factor | Outcomes |
2. Complete an impact assessment of your technology innovation based on the Impact Assessment Framework (IAF) by doing the following:
a. Discuss two potential outcomes from the Strategy and Finance dimension that should be monitored.
b. Choose one additional dimension and discuss one potential outcome of your technology innovation, and how the potential outcome is related to the chosen dimension.
| Dimension | Outcomes |
| Strategy and Finance | 1.
2. |
| 1. |
C. Comparative Assessments
1. Identify one existing technology that is similar to the proposed solution from prompt A1.
a. Describe the strengths of the existing technology in addressing the problem presented in the scenario.
b. Describe the limitations of the existing technology in addressing the problem presented in the scenario.
| Existing Technology | |
| Strengths | |
| Limitations |
2. Identify one low-tech solution or practice that could be used in the scenario.
a. Describe the strengths of the low-tech solution or practice in addressing the problem in the scenario.
b. Describe the limitations of the low-tech solution or practice in addressing the problem in the scenario.
| Low-Tech Solution or Practice | |
| Strengths | |
| Limitations |
3. Compare the proposed innovation, the identified existing technology, and the identified low-tech solution. Include the following four points in your comparison:
• a discussion of a perceived positive impact of each of the three solutions on patient outcomes
• a discussion of a perceived negative impact of each of the three solutions on patient outcomes
• a discussion of a perceived positive impact of each of the three solutions on cost savings
• a discussion of a perceived negative impact of each of the three solutions on cost savings
| Proposed Innovation | Existing Technology | Low-Tech Solution | |
| Name of innovation | |||
| Positive impact on patient outcomes | |||
| Negative impact on patient outcomes | |||
| Positive impact on cost savings | |||
| Negative impact on cost savings |
4. Discuss the key lessons you learned in designing your proposed technology innovation by including the following two points:
• an explanation of which solution provides the best positive impact on patient outcomes and cost savings
• a conclusion of whether or not your proposed innovation is the best solution for the problem presented in the scenario
| Lessons learned |
